Helpful Score: 3
These books are great. Though, they are written for kids, there is quite a bit of humor that an adult can also appreciate. My nine year-old son and I love this series. There is enough bathroom humor to keep him entertained and the doodles are quite funny as well.

My thoughts:
Positives:
* Really quick read
* Cartoons are always comical.
* Shows Greg is really starting to grow up and get new interests.
* Is perfect for everyone, especially for a little light reading.
Negatives:
* This was not as funny as the last two
* There is no real change in any of the other characters, so the same jokes have been told before.
* There are a lot of things that happen within this novel that mean absolutely nothing.
* He is extremely self-absorbed and therefore we have a limited view of everything that happens around him, I think that the more this series continues the less connection most boys will have with him.

These books are GREAT!If you just have an hour to waste, they are funny, quick reads and I hope that we see a lot more books like this. Great for all ages, and especially if you need something to brighten your day, because this is sure to be a highlight.
My 4th grade boys love these books. Helps those who don't like to read get started.
This book is a great book for kids. It has great safe humor. No bad languege.
I liked this book. I didn't like it as well as the other "Diary of a wimpy kid" books but I did really enjoy it. I hope they make a into a movie. The beginning was pretty funny.
